First of all i changed he's name to FITO RINAUDO wich is on he's shirt. I also lowered he's height maybe 176cm is right but he doesnt look like it irl. As you see Daniel Carriço is 183cm, Diego Rubio is 180cm. The diffrence in height between Rubio and Rinaudo is clearly more then Daniel Carriço and Diego Rubio.

BALANCE: This is a value i really thought long about it before posting. Rinaudo is a player who deserves a BAL value from 77 to 81 he sometimes really can posistion himself so that 2 random players cant steal the ball from him. On the other hand Rinaudo loves to jump in front of opponents right after he steals the ball so that they run into he's back so that he can dive and get a freekick. I dont know why, but that is he's style he tends to semi-dive a little. He can show some incredible strenght specially when stealing balls. Wich is why i maid this (difficult) choice to lower he's BAL. If you want a good example watch minute 1:10/1:22/1:59/2:13/2:47 on the first video.

SPEED: Altough i believe Rinaudo could reach a level of TS 83/ACC 84 like our Argentine statmakers suggested, he hasnt shown it in Portugal so i decreased them both -1.

RESPONSE: IMO he deserves a big boost in this section. I compared Rinaudo with Nigel de Jong when making these values, a player who i followed through out he's carriere. Rinaudo is just great in this section. He appears to be everywhere on the pitch and always seems to know where the ball is going in wich he reacts quickly and intercepts a lot of balls, Example intercepts 2:41. It even could be higher but he hasnt played at the highest level yet so i decided that this is enough for now.

DA/S: Rinaudo has a descent dribble and doesnt loose much speed. He can make some quick runs forward with the ball time to time. Example: 1:22/1:52/2:12. DA example: 2:58 on the first video, 4:38 on the second.

AGI: I feel he is just slightly more agile then PSD rated. Specially when he decides to avoid tackles (most of the time he preferes to be tackled so that he's opponent can get a yellow card or else just for the show because he doesnt really complain).

SPA/S: I raised slightly he's SPA because i feel he can make some good through balls time to time. Raising he's SPS is a must he likes to play balls with speed.

LPA/LPS: Rinaudo is clearly better in he's LP then SP. He has a pretty descent long pass, example: 2:53, and he tends to use it quite often, example: 4:26. He likes to switch sides.

SA/SP/ST: I decreased this all because like he's speed he hasnt show it in Portugal.

HEADING/JUMP: I decreased he's HEAD because he just makes simple headers and hasnt shown really great heading technique, he doesnt need it. JUMP i raised because i also decreased he's height. And he wins fairly amount of air battles with players who are bigger, example: 1:12 till 1:15.

CURLING/SWERVE: He has descent curling when he passes he also likes to do it even when its unnecessary. I know this could effect he shots, but SA/ST are so low it doesnt really mather.

TECH: A good control really for a DMF, nothing really to say about it.

MENT: MENT is just worldclass how i see it. He performes even better when the team is behind, i feel that he's STA is good but not great. But he MENT helps him to run the whole match though. I looked at the global ladder, and he is right there where he belongs. If this guy played in an Italian top team he would get a boost in MENT in a fingersnap. He never gives up stealing a ball and reminds me of Edgar Davids sometimes, example: 3:36. On the second video Gimnasia la Plata are 2-0 behind and just look ho he runs as if he's mother is dying: 4:57.

Sporting Clube de Portugalmeu amor / Working on new sets and updating Liga Sagres

Former São Paulo goalkeeper Fabiano is a talented young goalkeeper playing for SC Olhanense. Regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the Liga Sagres. Very tall, altough quite agile for his length and pretty safe. There are rumors regarding a Porto move.

Fabiano against Porto. In both matches this year, Fabiano frustrates Hulk.

Shirt Name: DANI/CARVALHO (used different shirt names during his time at Ajax)Club: AFC AjaxNumber: 6/10/14/21 (used different numbers during his time at Ajax)Position: SS, AMFNationality: PortugueseAge: 20-24 (02/10/1976)Era: 1996-2000

Info: Daniel da Cruz Carvalho known as Dani was a very talented Portuguese prospect from the academy of Sporting Portugal who ended his career at age 27. Imo Dani could have been one of the greatest left foot footballer from Portugal because we don't have many good left footers and of the fact that Dani showed some glimpses of a destined future worldstar. Johan Cruijff said himself that Dani was the most talented player in the squad at the time when he played for Ajax. He played with a lot of flair and sometimes even seemed to be floating on the pitch, he really floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. He had a good shot, also loved to use the outside of his foot plus he loved chipping goalkeepers. All and all Dani was best described as a very flamboyant player. He was a fans favorite because of that, and because of his good looks.

But Dani's lack of professionalism got the best of him. He couldn't resist the night life, women, alcohol and drugs. Becoming a good example of somebody that didn't use his talent. I believe Dani didn't show us 50% of his potential. Still very famous among Ajax and Sporting supporters, and specially because of his talent wasteful story. Hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard and Dani is definitely the living proof of this.

A skilled offensive player whose career was cut short by poor professional judgment, Dani began his career with local club Sporting Clube de Portugal, making his first team debuts in 1994–95, aged just 17, in a team which also included Luís Figo, Ricardo Sá Pinto and Bulgarian Krassimir Balakov, and helped the capital side to the season's Portuguese Cup.In January 1996 he served a small stint in the Premier League with West Ham United, scoring two goals (at Tottenham Hotspur[1] and at home against Manchester City).[2] Despite playing a decent role in his nine-game career, his season ended when he was sacked by manager Harry Redknapp, when he missed training after being spotted in a nightclub. Subsequently, he represented AFC Ajax, appearing regularly for the Amsterdam club, but almost never as an undisputed starter (although he scored an important goal in the 1996–97 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash against Atlético Madrid, in a 3–2 away win (4–3 aggregate).In January 2001, after a brief spell with S.L. Benfica, Dani signed for Atlético Madrid, in the Spanish second division, teaming up with compatriot Hugo Leal. After the Colchoneros returned to La Liga, he was pretty much absent for the majority of the 2002–03 campaign and, after failing to find a new team, definitely retired from football in early 2004, at only 27.

International career

Dani had nine caps for Portugal, the first coming on 12 December 1995 in a 1–1 friendly with England, and the last on 29 March 2000 in a 2–1 success against Denmark (also friendly).Previously, he appeared for the nation at the 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship in Qatar, being awarded the second place in both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards, while also competing at the 1996 Summer Olympics, where Portugal reached a final fourth place.
